Jill Henneberg had a fairytale career with the mare who took her from her first event to the Olympics.
Before Jill Henneberg ever competed in eventing, she participated, along with her family, in another kind of competition—boat racing. The Hennebergs, of Medford, N.J., called their small sailboat Nirvana.
“It wasn’t fancy, but it beat almost all the fancy boats in every race,” recalled Henneberg.
